I highlight H.R. 5267, the American Franchise Act. Congress must provide stability for the franchise model of small business by aligning Federal statute with longstanding precedent. In North Carolina, there are more than 30,000 franchises, employing more than 300,000 workers and generating over $30 billion in revenue. That represents jobs, paychecks, and opportunities for families. H.R. 5267 ends the uncertainty, ensuring owners have the clarity they need to keep hiring and investing in communities across our country. It is about fairness, opportunity, and ensuring entrepreneurs from every walk of life have a real shot at living the American Dream.
